Manchester City's chances of securing a spot in next season's Champions League took another hit after they drew 2-2 at home to Arsenal.
Manchester United now know that if they win their two remaining matches, at West Ham and at home to Bournemouth, they are guaranteed to finish ahead of their city rivals.
City were in front after only eight minutes through Sergio Aguero, the Argentine cutting in from the right and sending a fine left-footed strike inside Petr Cech's near post.
But Arsenal were level just two minutes later as Olivier Giroud was given the freedom of the penalty area, heading home an Alex Iwobi cross following a corner.
The Gunners suffered a blow in the 24th minute when Danny Welbeck was forced off with an injury, Jack Wilshere coming on in his place.
City were back in front in the 51st minute, Kevin De Bruyne going on a solo run before finding the bottom corner from the edge of the area -- though goalkeeper Petr Cech should probably have done better.
But the Gunners again hit back in the 68th minute, Giroud with a lovely layoff for Alexis Sanchez to run on to and score with ease past Joe Hart.
